Poems. A New Edition (1881), proof Signature A (Delaware Museum, final proof)

This is the final uncorrected proof for the front matter of DGR's 1881 Poems. A New Edition. It was probably printed off in June 1881.

DGR revised the initial proofs for the front matter for this book twice, and the library of the Delaware Art Museum preserves four partial sets of earlier proofs for this signature where one can track DGR's successive acts of revision. In addition to this complete final proof, the library has two copies (both partial) of the first author's proof, copy 1 and copy 2 , both with corrections and two partial copies of the first revise, copy 1 and copy 2 , both also with revisions.
